SHOT & KILLED BY THE LAPD on March 25, 2008. The family was notified of his death 21 days later. Despite the officers having ran his id prior to shooting him. Usman was only 21 years old & will be extremely missed!

Usman was in handcuffs when examined! Now you infer your story

message:Usman was my friend. He helped me out when I was on the streets in hollywood. He was a well mannered guy and was terrified of the police. Usman told me numorous times before his death that he was very afraid of the lapd and he was worried that one of the officers was going to kill him. He was asleep in the bushes. They should never had even gone up to him considering there are people sleeping on the sidewalks all over that neighborhood. The cops had been threatening and intimidating him mounths before his death. I believe it was a premeditated homicide

message:You know all things happen for a reason and no one on this site know what the reason is, only god knows. What we need to do is turn back to god because satan is seeking those that he can destroy. You can do something positive and that learn to make the right choice and learn to pray for one another the bible says am i my brother keeper and the answer is yes so we should be supportive of one another and learn to step in where we can. And to the family sorry for your lost and you will be in my prays.

message:If you people really want to stop police brutality perpetrated by LAPD then start a revolution. We've done it before and we can do it again. We were succesful during the Rodney King trial and the police were made to look like fools when they were unable to control the crowd. The were so helpless from the shock and awe that they had to call the National Guard to bail them out. What a shame.

message:I never claimed to have an answer as to why, this man was shot, handcuffed, and the 21 day delay. However you must have, call the press. Or have they told you to piss off too? Oh, nice picture of you too. It was under jackass in the dictionary. (those long ears and long nose can be fixed), so don't give up hope.

I must have made a mistake on judging your low I.Q., however stupidity is not a handicap, so don't bother calling Jerrys Kids. Oh, I don't like re-runs, so please don't cut and paste the same lame comment over and over. If you can't learn more words, I will have to reposess your keyboard until you finish your fingerpainting class.

posted by: Common sense the fool
message:Common Sense, dont you have anything better to do but be on this site--really!? Even after all your insults on how people spell, there lack of knowledge you still refrain from looking at two critical questions: 1 why was the family notified 21 days later when his id was ran before he was shot? & 2 why was he handcuffed? This info can be found through the public records act, does not require one to be at the scene crime, you dumb fool! At least everyone at this site regardless of how well they can spell or how well they can express themselves have HEART and have emotions and are trying to make the world a safer place by WEEDING OUT the rooten police officers, remember you said yourself not all officers are good and not all are bad. With all that said, maybe you can show yourself at one of the vigils and mouth off the way you are now so that we can see what a pathetic excuse for a humanbeing you actually are! Dumb fool.

message:HUH?!? I just re-read my comments. They make pretty good sense to me, well and everyone else past the age of 10. By looking at your spelling, grammar, and sentence structure, I can see that you still have a couple of years to go till you make it to Jr. High School. You can tell from my comments, that I never made any conclusion from any shooting. You see, I was not there. By your comments it seems you were. Ignorance is from jumping to a conclusion and spouting off hate without knowing ALL the facts. I can see why you call me a "ignorant fool" because I will not agree with your stupidity. Oh Webster's Dictionary is a great tool for definitions and spelling. If you find one, I will tell you how to use it. Hint #1: open the book. Thanks Pal.

posted by: Your welcome
message:Your very welcome Common Sense. If you make ignorant senseless comments you will receive the same in replies. But if you were even somewhat decent, you would just leave the grieving families alone--and just leave this website. So some respect to families that have lost there loved ones to police violence. As you said there are good cops and bad cops & really from the given facts it doesnt take a genious to conclude that the officers involved in Usman's shooting were the bad apples in the bunch. If you truely understood you would be asking yourself why the LAPD took 21 days to tell Usman's family of his death when they ran his id & you would also ask why Usman was handcuffed? If you cant ask those things then you really are an ignorant fool as you seem you are from your comments.

message:Thank you for all the replies. Please be origional on them though. The same angry reply on all the posts are dull, dry, and shows lack of imagination. You know who you are. I don't support police shootings. SEE! Your narrow mindness prevented you from understanding my point. Police are good, on the most part. Like any profession there are good and bad. Bad police dont do anything, and would not care what happens to YOUR loved ones. The good police, at least, try to protect. OH! NO I am not a cop, relative of a cop. I have never been arrested, you see I OBEY the law, except my traffic tickets. We all make a little mistake now and then.

Such a pathetic person you r seems maybe YOU are a cop and are having your feelings hurt--and another thing your so jumpy about making the point that no one was there at the shooting well you werent there either to know whether the cop was wrong or right. So seriously get of this website & go on lapd.org where the moderator is a COp and you can tell them how muuch you love them even if they kill your family...

YOU DO NOT HAVE TO BE A CRIMINAL TO GET ABUSED. THE COPPERS ARE THE GANGS OF OUR TIMES. THE EXTERMINATOR OF THE REVOLVING SOCIETY AND GOOD CITIZENS TOO. COPPERS WILL KILL. HERE IN THIS SMALL TOWN A COPPER HAD SOME ONE FACED DOWN HANDCUFFING HIM. OOOOOPPPS ACCIDENTALLY SHOT HIM IN THE BACK. OH! WELL. JUST A SHOOTING, ANOTHER JUSTIFIABLE SHOOTING. THE COPPER WAS SEEN LATTER POINTING RIFFLE AGAIN. HE IS THE SHARP SHOOTER IN OWN NEIGHBERHOOD. WE CAN NOT DO ANY THING ABOUT POLICE BRUTALITIES, ABOUT THEIR KILLINGS, ABOUT THEIR UNANNOUNCE WARRANTLESS KNOCKS THE AT OWR DOORS. THEY ARE THE BLACK ANGELS OF DEATH, THE TRUE KABORKINANS OF DEATH.THE TRUE VIGILANTES.

message:yeah, i’ve heard some details on this case and its really interesting. officer joseph cruz had a small laceration on his left hand, which has the potential to have been self-inflicted. there are serious allegations i’m not at liberty to post here, but they are condemning and frightening if proven true. an official investigation needs to be asking these questions, unfortunately the internal LAPD investigation has already been closed and found no wrong doing on the part of officer cruz or the LAPD, even regarding the 3 week delay in notifying the victims family,during which time Usman’s body was decomposing in the morgue. yes, it is disgusting. as a muslim this was a serious violation of religious burial rites, and the family has every right to be outraged at the official handling of this case. and yes, it is against LAPD policy to shoot suspects in the stomach, as it is highly lethal and extremely slow and painful for the victim. the coroner found Usman did bleed to death, and had likely been handcuffed for several hours prior to his death, which contradicts everything in the official report of what happened. police accountability is a serious issue we all need to be concerned with and active in creating, for as the justice system stands now there is little to none. the cops who murdered sean bell received full acquittals. the cops who beat rodney king, the ones shot tayisha miller and amadoud diallo tens of times, there are too many to name, all acquitted. check out stolenlives.org, its an ongoing community project to document the victims of unjustified police homicide. hope to see you at the next vigil, peace

Why because a police officer shot him & realized he made a mistake & LAPD was then ashamed & didn't know what to tell the family when they called this time around!? SPEAK UP & ASK QUESTIONS!
